Best Book I've Ever Read

If you are considering buying In The Stone Circle, you should , immediatly. It is so exciting and you will want to read it over and over again. I have read it at least 4 times. It is truely a good book to have in your collection. Great for Teens. I'm 13 and Love it - so do all my friends- who i made read it!.

A compelling read

This book was an amazing tlae, taking several themes, and incorporating them into one carefully spun story. This is the story of a girl who has grown up without a mother, and now must go with her father to the distant and remote country of Wales. Also, it is a story of another family, one filled with the horrors of divorce, and an awful secret. Last. but certainly not least, is the tale of Carwen, the ghost. Her story is heartwarming, but also heartbreaking. Kimmel does an excellent job of tying the themes together. Also, she does an excellent job of developing her characters. I love and hate Dennis and Miranda- sometimes at the same time. Miranda in particular is an intriguing character. I also love the backdrop of Wales. It was a great place to set this story. I would suggest this story to anyone who enjoys ghost stories, mysteries, or family dramas. Happy Reading!

Suspensful and totally cool

This book was awsome! It is about a girl who has to spend 2months in Wales for the summer with her dad and another family. Aghost comes wanting help. It's awsome. I recommend it. :)

Great Book

This is the best book i've read in a long time. It was very sad and even though my family is anything but disfunctional, I sympathize with Cristyn for the loss of her mother. I could also understand Miranda's feelings of resentment toward her brother, Dennis, because most of my friends feel that way about their siblings. I have never had a younger brother, but this book made me wish I did and glad I didn't at the same time. This book is exciting, mystifying, and down-to-earth at the same time. As I said, one of the best books I've read, and certainly the most thought-provoking. Read it!

The best book in the whole entire world!

I absolutely loved In The Stone Circle! It is the best book ever! It made me scared to death but made me want to cry at the same time. Especially at the end. Touching and scary, I reccomend it to everyone.
